I get breakouts and all of that good stuff too but I try to prevent that from happening by keeping my face as healthy looking as I can. Lately I've become really obsessed with keeping my skin healthy. It's crazy I know I'm only twenty but I'm already getting weird about wrinkles (I know) that even in the winter, whenever the sun is out I make sure I have my sunglasses on!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So the cream I used to use was "La <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">mer</span>". Though La <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">mer</span> is really good for the skin and left my face feeling really smooth and moist, I discovered that I shouldn't be using something like that in my age range and that it's a bit strong for my face. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I took some time to look for a cream that worked best for my complexion. I have oily skin and the lady at the store recommended I use <b><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Clarins</span> "Multi Active".</b> I've been using it for a few months and I'm absolutely loving the way my skin looks and feels as well. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Keep in mind every skin type works well with different types of products, it's important for you to take the time to check what's best for you. But I do recommend getting a great <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">moisturizer</span> especially if you're leaving in a dry or cold place, to avoid having super dry skin. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I Also use "<b>Bliss</b>" around my eyes before I sleep and before I put my make up on. Bliss is available <a href="http://www.blissworld.com/all-around-eye-cream-set-of-2.aspx">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>TIP:</b> Putting <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">moisturizer</span> before putting on your foundation makes your skin look smoother and clearer. </div>Mariam Hakimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940310126470183664noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067416215142511106.post-54328564484868760962010-11-18T21:13:00.002-05:002010-11-18T21:18:10.208-05:00The perfect winter accessory...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TOXdS_0EJgI/AAAAAAAAAnM/81iMJYlkZRs/s1600/FB83DFEC-2769-D107-A24B-FBF1E4C54CFDwallpaper.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TOXdS_0EJgI/AAAAAAAAAnM/81iMJYlkZRs/s400/FB83DFEC-2769-D107-A24B-FBF1E4C54CFDwallpaper.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541078234986456578" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Though I love clothes, those who know me know how big I am on accessories. Whether it's a headband, necklace, charms, bracelets, bags, hats etc. I recently got a request from a friend on hats that are in for the winter. I found some pretty cool options from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">asos</span>. Now I know the turban has been making it's way back in style (Carrie wore one in Sex &amp; the City 2), but it's the first I've seen of winter turbans which I found pretty cool, I'm also really big on berets, beanie's and floppy hats! If you're really looking for warmth, the <b>trapper hat </b>was and still is a trend for men and women. </div>Mariam Hakimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940310126470183664noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067416215142511106.post-22206060933974902702010-11-14T00:00:00.000-05:002010-11-14T00:00:01.781-05:00Stylish Camera Bags<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4ujp2YwnI/AAAAAAAAAnE/jLU50kZ0iTA/s1600/67662_100684993335777_100682700002673_2786_7911048_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4ujp2YwnI/AAAAAAAAAnE/jLU50kZ0iTA/s400/67662_100684993335777_100682700002673_2786_7911048_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538915781776556658" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4ujKjtPJI/AAAAAAAAAm8/es1Fb-yGgck/s1600/36086_100685453335731_100682700002673_2797_6700084_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 343px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4ujKjtPJI/AAAAAAAAAm8/es1Fb-yGgck/s400/36086_100685453335731_100682700002673_2797_6700084_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538915773376707730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4ui12klLI/AAAAAAAAAm0/yMLhYXplQsU/s1600/73761_100684970002446_100682700002673_2785_3240486_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4ui12klLI/AAAAAAAAAm0/yMLhYXplQsU/s400/73761_100684970002446_100682700002673_2785_3240486_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538915767818687666" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Okay so my eyes were completely drawn when I came across a line of camera bags/purses called <b>Flash </b>by Loulwa Kassem. We've got covers to style our phones, why not have a stylish camera case as well? Flash features a variety of colors and fits most camera's. <b>Flash </b>isn't only for camera owners, a lot of buyers of this fabulous purses carry them around as an everyday side bag. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I have a camera and am dying to get my hands on one of these purses, but if I didn't I would still no doubt carry one of these purses as an everyday bag.

A few months ago I bought a Royal Blue circle scarf from H&amp;M and I'm not sure if they're still available there, but I know for sure they're available in American Apparel. Now I believe I did do a similar post a while ago, but recently American Apparel have got a bit of a different collection with the circle scarves. They've used some newer materials: Acid Wash, Sheer &amp; Printed circle scarves. The solid colors are still available in a variety of colors. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Mariam Hakimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940310126470183664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067416215142511106.post-43590773681991750742010-11-13T00:18:00.003-05:002010-11-13T00:29:25.133-05:00Winter Boots: Wedges<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4hDfjpFXI/AAAAAAAAAmk/Goohcky1pHs/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2010-11-13%2Bat%2B12.20.28%2BAM.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 337px; height: 325px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TN4hDfjpFXI/AAAAAAAAAmk/Goohcky1pHs/s400/Screen%2Bshot%2B2010-11-13%2Bat%2B12.20.28%2BAM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538900935606605170" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I've been completely obsessing about wedges lately and I finally bought my first pair last week! (above) mine were by Jefferey Campbell and I'm absolutely in love with them. I love heels and I buy them but you rarely see me wearing them unless it's to an event or if I really feel like dressing up. Reason being, heels kill and I've always been a comfort first kind of girl when it came to almost anything. I will tell you, these wedges are SO comfortable I wear them even when I'm doing my day to day stuff. They're that comfortable, they're still in style for A/W 2010 and great for the winter :) Few other designer/brand names:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1.

Not sure if anyone still comes by here anymore, but even so.. I'm going to post whenever I can :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So I've been a big fan of statement necklaces for a while now, most of the ones I'm in love with are designers and not everyone has a budget for that. I loved and found this statement necklace at Aldo Accessories. Not the clearest in the photo's but its gold plated and I think would look fabulous with a plain black top or dress something not too over the top if you want the necklace to really stand out and make a statement. I'll probably be wearing this necklace here and there with an outfit, so when I do I'll be sure to post it :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">x</div>Mariam Hakimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940310126470183664noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067416215142511106.post-46054766966497673712010-10-05T02:21:00.002-04:002010-10-05T02:29:31.222-04:00YSL Women's S/S '11<div style="text-align: center;"><object style="background-image:url(http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/cW1ampdw8Ak/hqdefault.jpg)" width="425" height="344"></object></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you were fortunate enough to be there you'd know the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">YSL</span> S/S '11 was a great show.

I realise it's fall now and it's getting colder so even though I still wear my flats, I'd add on a solid colored scarf and a cardigan on top to stay warm. I came across Montreal based Graphic tee store for both men and woman. They've also got women's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">hoodies</span> and sweat pants.

I absolutely fell in love with this collection. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Betina</span> Lou is known for her pieces being timeless and feminine.

So this is kind of bitter sweet! No more waiting for another Harry Potter book to launch and only 2 more movies. How sad do I sound? heh.. Well here's a new trailer for the movie!

So if any of you guys have twitter, follow me <a href="http://twitter.com/meeme88">here</a> :) I love getting to know new people. Anyways, things are settling and the day for my laptop will be arriving soon which I'm excited for, finally no borrowing my sisters or mom's laptop and getting yelled at for hogging it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On a better note there's some great news for all the fashionista's in Canada. Montreal's fashion week is set to take off next Monday. Thought this was pretty cool given I live in Canada and it's always great to see great Canadian designers recognized. Few names from Montreal are Iris Setlawke, Ralph Leroy, Dimitry Chris, Coccolily and Valerie Dumaine.

Especially in the summer, since my feet aren't covered most of the time because I'm wearing flip flops or sandals it makes my the bottom of my feet kind of rough and I hate it. So my best friend told me how her mother spreads Vaseline all over her feet and wears socks over them every night before she sleeps and they start leaving them soft. So as soon as I reached Toronto I ran to the drug mart to purchase a huge Vaseline bottle and did exactly as she said and honestly my feet are a lot smoother and softer than they were a few days back! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just thought it would be a handy alternate if you don't feel like purchasing expensive products, this definitely does the trick. </div>Mariam Hakimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940310126470183664noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067416215142511106.post-11441272693403554812010-09-14T14:50:00.002-04:002010-09-14T14:59:26.596-04:00Outfit of the Day: Going to Class<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TI_EEpBtb-I/AAAAAAAAAlE/Wa_PPvjhEnE/s1600/Me_outfit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 238px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TI_EEpBtb-I/AAAAAAAAAlE/Wa_PPvjhEnE/s400/Me_outfit.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516843652563693538" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">(Cardigan Boots &amp; Tank top: Forever2, Leggings: Zara, Scarf: H&amp;M, Bag: Amman- Jordan)</span></div>Mariam Hakimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940310126470183664noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067416215142511106.post-56526731697406690172010-09-12T10:21:00.002-04:002010-09-12T10:26:22.600-04:00Rachel Bilson in Suno<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TIzh_hKqisI/AAAAAAAAAk8/UbpL0n1fIfw/s1600/Suno_dress.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 357px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lk7b_HGupkg/TIzh_hKqisI/AAAAAAAAAk8/UbpL0n1fIfw/s400/Suno_dress.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516032124973124290" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: Just Jared)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I just did a post on designer brand Suno and raved about their amazing prints.

Max <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Osterweis</span> is known for his detailed and crazy patterns which makes sense since he spent a lot of time in Kenya collecting unique textiles.

I have a lot of friends that come from the UAE and every Abaya they wear is more gorgeous than the other. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></br></div><div style="text-align: center;">One that I absolutely fell inlove with is the one I've posted (above) and was worn by a dear friend of mine.

Now to get it to be sweet we usually dip each one of the Atayefs in a sugary sauce called "Atter" and to make it you basically just put sugar and water in a pan and boil it for a while and you're done :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't they look amazing?

Last year I fell in love with a B<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">urberry</span> circle scarf and wanted it for my birthday but decided to go for something else. American Apparel, a high street store sells tons of circle scarfs and in a variety of colors. I really want to buy a few for the fall :) I kind of miss the cold.. even though I know when it gets colder I will regret saying that! Can't believe summer is almost done. It just started a week and a half ago for me! So sad.. but oh well! </div>Mariam Hakimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08940310126470183664noreply@blogger.com1
